This is going to be a special Final, I feel it. The Clásico Joven between Club América and Cruz Azul has grown into one of the most anticipated fixtures in Liga MX. From its beginnings in the 1970s to the dramatic clashes of recent years, the rivalry embodies the passion, drama, and competitive spirit of Mexican football. The last most notable match between these teams was in the Guardianes 2020 tournament, with Cruz Azul finally breaking a long championship drought by winning the league title, defeating América in the semifinals en route to their victory. Grab your Modelo, sit back, and enjoy this historical rivalry in this year’s final.

CABRA PICK of the WEEK:
#2 Cruz Azul vs #1 America (Thursday, 7pm PST)
CAN EITHER TEAM SEPARATE THEMSELVES IN LEG 1?
Clasico Joven Liga MX final has arrived yet again. One of the most prestigious and historic rivalries in Mexican futbol. The two giants from Mexico City. Will America secure back-to-back championships or will Cruz Azul secure their 10th all-time? One thing we can't hide is Cruz Azul is the team heading into this final with the most pressure. In the last two finals they've played America they lost both. Not only that, but Cruz Azul has only won ONE league title in the last 26 years. Can Cruz Azul finally get their revenge? It's really tough to predict how the 1st leg will turn out since team form is out of the picture when it comes to a final. But the 1st leg has a high chance of ending in a high-scoring draw.
Andre’s Lock of the Week: Cruz Azul / America to DRAW (+220)
